Tottenham have sacked head coach Ange Postecoglou despite him ending the club's 17-year trophy drought after winning the Europa League.
According to reports, Brentford boss Thomas Frank is the leading contender to succeed him and has a release clause in his contract, although negotiations are yet to take place with the Bees.
There has been no approach to Brentford yet from Spurs, but one is anticipated.
Other managers admired at Tottenham include Fulham boss Marco Silva and Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola.
Postecoglou's dismissal comes 16 days after he guided Spurs to a 1-0 Europa League final win over Manchester United to claim their first European trophy in 41 years.
But glory in Bilbao, which saw Spurs qualify for next season's Champions League, came after Postecoglou presided over the club's worst-ever Premier League campaign.
Tottenham finished a dismal 17th after suffering 22 defeats to record their lowest-ever Premier League points tally of 38.
Postecoglou departs after two seasons in charge, halfway through his four-year contract.
His sacking comes exactly two years after his appointment, having joined from Celtic on June 6, 2023.
The 59-year-old's departure means Spurs are searching for their fifth permanent manager in six years since Mauricio Pochettino left in 2019.
